Extremely Terrible Experience. Avoid the company at all costs.
The recruiters are non-responsive. All interviewers are unpunctual and have arrogant attitudes(including the recruiter/HR). The Hiring Manager was totally unprepared (he didn't even have my resume). and he wanted to know everything about me. Asked random questions like tell me 4-5 weaknesses and the type of work that you would not like to do. Wanted to know about my work in depth. Questions similar to Amazon leadership but just too many.
Followed by OA, which was pretty straightforward, with 1 easy and 1 medium graph question, and one easy REST API question.. Total time was 90 mins.
The interviews are unaware of the follow-up questions they ask; they seem to have made it up at the time. They fail to explain the follow-up questions properly. The lack of experience of the interviewer seems noticeable. They are just trying to find a break point where you could just have to think about it a lot and if you take time in thinking more than they think you are not a fit. This gives an idea about the culture they have. I think I would never like to work for this organization. There are so many bad reviews on glassdoor as well. And they are known to rescind offers too. I know someone whose offer was rescinded and the very next month the same position was open. I can just sense the toxicity even before joining the organization.
Question is straightforward; it was about train water tapping (worded vaguely).
Follow ups
What if there are negative heights (like holes)?
If there is sea level?
I managed to answer the negative heights and I got a small hint for the sea level after asking some questions. In the end I was able to provide a working solution. I am 100% sure they are messing up and not actually hiring. Don't know what they are looking for.
